Commenting on this development, Ishaan Khanna, CEO and& Executive Director, LifeCell International, said, “With Sohum on board, we have been able to add affordable hearing screening to our suite of diagnostic services that we were aiming to offer for a long time now. We also take pride in associating with an out-and-out Indian brand like Sohum Labs, through whom we are now able to serve the needs of newborns beyond urban markets."

Nitin Sisodia, Founder & CEO, Sohum Innovation Labs, said, “When it comes to hearing screening devices in India, we firmly believe that we have set the gold standard."
